Is bottled water from plastic bottles worse than those in bottled in glass?

Water in plastic bottles is not necessarily bad, however, recent studies suggest that reusing them over and over can be harmful as they begin to degrade into the water you are drinking. Whenever you buy bottled water be sure to check where it's from. A general rule of thumb is that the water should be bottled north of your location as it will be cleaner than water bottled south of you (as most rivers generally travel north to south).
There is a concern about consuming any product -- food or drink -- that has been stored for any length of time in a plastic container that has BPA or Bisphenol A. There are two camps: one that claims BPA is deadly and the other that says such claims are nonsense. To this end, many bottled products, plastic food storage containers, baby bottles and pacifiers, etc. are not being labeled as containing NO BPAs. Glass does not contain BPA, hence the big push for consumer to invest in glass water bottles coated in silicone. Read for yourself: http://www.factsaboutbpa.org

most bottled water is reverse osmosis tap water. it cost about eight dollars a gallon. tap water is a cost of a small fraction of a cent. then there is the problem of all those plastic bottles, which i read in national geographic that only 47% get recycled. the decomposition of plastic bottles takes thousands of years unless they are specifically formulated. take these verifiable facts and rate yourself fiscally and envionmentally.
The Pros and Cons of Bottled Water?
Cons - can you say the word 'plastic consumption'? If you have no other choice than bottled water, that is one thing. If, on the other hand, you have the chance to install a water filter or get yourself one of those filtering water pitchers, by all means do so. There have been a variety of studies (many with negative results) citing negative effects on the body as a result from drinking liquids from plastic bottles and cups. http://www.articlesbase.com/health-articles/are-you-drinking-and-eating-cancer-plastic-bottles-will-have-you-on-the-way-to-chemotherapy-443098.html Here is just one article citing possible effects from continuous drinking from bottled water.

Which is cleaner tap water or bottled water?
I watched a program once, and the answer to your question is simple. Bottled water comes straight from the mountains, but as with tap water..tap water contains urine, but has been mechanically cleaned. Tap water will not make you ill, it is cheaper, so you may as well just drink it, enough people do!!
Can bottled water left in the car cause cancer?
== == No, you are thinking of a theory that a grad student wrote for her master's thesis. This thesis stated that DEHA was released from plastic water bottles when they are used more than once. DEHA (or diethylhydroxylamine) is a potentially carcinogenic element. However, it has NEVER been classified as a human carcinogen. The FDA has approved DEHA for products used in food storage. This is all moot as most plastics used in water bottles do not contain DEHA. So, go ahead and refill those plastic water bottles. Or, better yet, don't use them at all. Take your own bottles and REFILL them instead of wasting money and resources. See the two links below

Why are you advised to drink bottled water?
Bottled water is more convenient and you can reuse the bottles. There are many different brands to choose from. You have to try some for taste.Another great thing about bottled water is that you can store water for emergencies and other unplanned events. There are also numerous forums and discussion boards out there which have a wealth of information on this topic.Bottled water is not especially good for you. It's "water" that is essential; we'd prefer to have the water relatively pure, without toxic chemicals or organisms, and bottled water generally provides that. However, there have been cases when the bottled water was contaminated at the source.
